A Snowy Morning At The Farm

Last Saturday, I awoke to a very wintery looking morning at the farm. The sky was quite overcast and before long, snow began to fall. It came down fast and furiously and I decided to get the dogs and my camera and take a drive through the snow. Enjoy!

16 Francesca and Sharkey decided it was time to race the Kawasaki. They jumped down and took off through the linden allee.

17 Francesca stopped to investigate tracks in the snow.

18 This is a little shelter, once used by a couple of black sheep, who are now happily living on a sheep farm, where they make wool fiber.

19 The paddock fencing, which is antique white-cedar fencing from Canada, always looks great covered with snow.

20 The Frenchies took off in the maple grove.

21 I continued to drive past the chicken yard.

22 And past the lilac allee

23 Francesca kept running.

24 And Sharkey was right behind her.

26 The dogs ran on.

27 Were they finished running?

28 They spotted something!

29 And they were off again!

30 GK and I watched through the Kawasaki windshield.

31 The Frenchies ran far across a hayfield.

32 What were they chasing?

33 A view of the beautiful hayfield - Finally fatigued, the girls got back in the Kawasaki and we continued on our way.

34 The snow flakes were big and fluffy.

35 The snow accumulated quickly.

37 Back near the pinetum

38 A better view of the pinetum, which is planted on a hillside - It is a fine collection of evergreen trees.

39 The blueberry pergola is quite near the vegetable greenhouse, where vegetables are growing nicely in the ground.

40 This is one end of the long pergola that has clematis growing upon it. The burlap objects are standard wisteria.

41 This is a rarely photographed side of my home. This entrance leads to the hallway with stairs to the Chef's Apartment above the kitchen. The windows to the left look into my formal dining room called The Brown Room.

42 The terrace side of my home and the kitchen door

43 The oft photographed view from the terrace

44 This long building houses the flower room, the carport, and the blog studio.

45 These burlap covered shapes are highly fragrant standard lilac.

46 A rather surreal photo of bundled up Betsy out for a ride. That is the headhouse of the main greenhouse through the snow.

50 This is the tropical greenhouse, which is quite warm and humid inside.
